Below is a catalog of media I have available for lending. I have accumulated lots of books, movies, games, and game systems and I’m happy to share with my friends and family. If you’d like to borrow something, just email or text me.

A little guide: items in bold italics are media I really like and recommend. Items in normal italics are media I own but maybe haven’t read/listened to/watched yet (or just didn’t care for, but more likely the former).
